We are celebrating the work of the NHS and the dedication and hard work of all. One of the first pioneers of Nursing was Florence Nightingale who was born on the 12th May 1820, on the 200th anniversary of her birth, the work Florence Nightingale did resonates with us now more than ever. Florences ideas and actions changed nursing forever. In honour and in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the new hospital built in London was named the Nightingale Hospital. Florence made people realise that nursing is an important job and that hospitals needed to be clean to save lives.  These ideas still save peoples lives today. She was the first woman nurse and first woman to earn the order of merit in 1910

We are pleased to announce our latest title for Serial Mash, Our Big Kitchen inspired by the OBK community kitchen project in the heart of Bondi, Sydney Australia, founded by Rabbi Dr David Slavin in 2005. The project inspires individuals to come together to help people in need. The team of volunteers make and distribute meals to disadvantaged Australians and are at the heart of the project, enabling its big acts of kindness to happen.
